Aa. Aligia et al., SUPERCONDUCTIVITY WITH S AND P SYMMETRIES IN AN EXTENDED HUBBARD-MODEL WITH CORRELATED HOPPING, The European Physical Journal. B: Condensed Matter Physics, 5(3), 1998, pp. 371-378
We consider a generalized Hubbard model with on-site and nearest-neigh
bour repulsions U and V respectively, and nearest-neighbour hopping fa
r spin up (down) which depends on the total occupation n(b) of spin do
wn (up) electrons on both sites involved. The hopping parameters are t
(AA), t(AB) and t(BB) for n(b) = 0, 1, 2 respectively. We briefly summ
arize results which support that the model exhibits s-wave superconduc
tivity for certain parameters and extend them by studying the Berry ph
ases. Using a generalized Hartree-Fock(HF) BCS decoupling of the two a
nd three-body terms, we obtain that at half filling, for t(AB) < t(AA)
= t(BB) and sufficiently small U and V the model leads to triplet p-w
ave superconductivity for a simple cubic lattice in any dimension. In
one dimension, the resulting phase diagram is compared with that obtai
ned numerically using two quantized Berry phases (topological numbers)
as order parameters. While this novel method supports the previous re
sults, there are quantitative differences.
